Pondering

6 x8

I took Dreama Tolle Perrys workshop last summer on Whidby island…a great experience.  But until yesterday I did not try her method of painting…old habits die hard.  Anyway, I decided it was now or never, so I pulled out all the paints from the palette she uses re read her notes  and carried on.  What Dreama does differently from any artist I have seen is to cover her panel with several different colours of transparent paint.  Then after the painting is  set up you add the colours from the rest of the palette. I am really pleased at how rich the colours of the painting look.  It is so true "nothing ventured nothing gained"
